Rev3 Rush Richmond – Day 1

It’s been several months since my last post, and I have tons to share. But I’ll make my blog comeback with a race report from my only triathlon of the season, Rev3 Rush Richmond. As mentioned previously, I am basically taking the year off triathlon to focus on other things. But when I saw Rev3 putting on a race with such a unique format, I had to participate.

February Check-In

I haven't really had any real-time updates since putting out my 2014 Fitness Goals in mid-January. Here we are a month later, and I have to say, I'm in a little bit of a weird place. I'm still enjoying lifting hard and working out, but progress has plateaued and motivation is waning.

2013 VO2 Max Test – Part 2

This post picks up from where Part 1 left off, with me exhausted, dripping with sweat, sitting on top of a cycle ergometer.

2013 VO2 Max Test – Part 1

As an age grouper, I’ve had the rare opportunity to have a VO2 Max Test performed… twice! The second time was this past November, but about 2 months into the off-season.

While I’m still dealing with the Off-Season Dilemma and trying to sort out my athletic goals and objectives for 2014, I have been working on a little side project. We’ve been in our new house for about 8 months now. But we were missing one little thing… a garage to match.

Last weekend, our neighborhood had a little 5k Turkey Trot. Of course, I was very cognizant that this was a small (200 people or so), family friendly (most were running with strollers and/or dogs) event. So I did not want to be the ultra-competitive jerk who took it too seriously.

As athletes, we are always looking for ways to get bigger, faster, stronger, leaner, or whatever it is for our sport. Many of us utilize supplements that we believe can assist us in these goals. But how much do we know about them?

It’s been a little while since I’ve checked in with anything remotely related to endurance sports, so I thought I’d share a little with what I’ve been up to. I’m planning on longer post on my usual off-season conundrum, but for now I’ll just give you the update.
